                          WHEREAS, The members of First Christian Church in Alice are 
         
            gathering on October 8, 2023, to honor their pastor, Elias

                          WHEREAS, Since professing his faith in 1973, Pastor Vasquez 
         
            has served the Disciples of Christ Christian Church in area, 
         
            regional, and national administrative roles, which have included

            and the National Hispanic Bilingual Fellowship Confraternity from 
         
            1988 to 1989; he worked as a grant administrator for Nueces County 
         
            before retiring from his secular career to devote himself fully to 
         
            the ministry; in 1995, he was licensed as a pastor by the Disciples 
         
            of Christ Christian Church; and
         
                          WHEREAS, On September 16, 1994, Pastor Vasquez was appointed 
         
            as senior pastor of First Christian Church in Alice, where he has 
         
            preached for nearly three decades; over the course of his tenure, 
         
            the church's congregation has grown more multicultural, and he has 
         
            enjoyed overseeing the development of a thriving children's 
         
            ministry; along the way, he has benefited immensely from the love 
         
            and support of his wife, Emma Vasquez, who, like her husband, has 
         
            dedicated herself to the church with a spirit of compassion, 
         
            perseverance, and selfless service; and
         
                          WHEREAS, Through their inspiring faith and leadership, 
         
            Pastor Elias R. Vasquez and Emma Vasquez have enhanced the lives of 
         
            countless individuals, and in so doing, they have won the affection 
         
            of their congregation and the esteem of the Alice and Robstown 
         
            communities; now, therefore, be it
         
                          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas 
         
            Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Pastor Elias 
         
            R.  Vasquez and Emma Vasquez for their longtime service in the 
         
            ministry and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and, 
         
            be it further
         
                          RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
         
            prepared for Pastor and Mrs.  Vasquez as an expression of high 
         
            regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
